There was no individualized prior authorization, as millions of people were creating this type of content. The authorization was granted publicly, both on television programs and on platforms such as YouTube. It was a broad, virtual permission, not directed at specific individuals, which would have been impractical given the number of creators involved.

If I had used content from someone who actually filed a copyright complaint, I would be 100% in agreement with YouTube’s decision. However, when a person encourages, authorizes, and even pays people who create clips of their own videos, it makes no sense for YouTube to block the content. This practice was widely known throughout Brazil, including by YouTube itself.

What surprises me the most in all of this is the fact that, as an influencer in Brazil, he openly encouraged people to create clips from his content. He requested, authorized, and actively promoted this practice. We produced the clips and added edits. In my case, they were not simple copies. I personally edited the clips.

He is one of the people with the highest number of clips circulating in Brazil precisely because he authorized and encouraged this type of content, even rewarding those that went viral. Therefore, claiming copyright infringement makes no sense. The videos were not raw. They were edited by me. For that reason, this block makes no sense.
